Ingredients

  • 2 (9 ounce) boxes frozen artichoke hearts
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper (you can use ground black pepper if you don't have lemon pepper)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Sauce
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon shallot, minced fine
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 cup butter (cold and cut into small pats)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley
  • 2 teaspoons fresh chives

Method

  • Artichokes -- In a large bowl add the artichokes (thawed) and add the olive oil, lemon pepper and salt and toss well to combine. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil and cook at 425 for 15-20 minutes until they are warmed through and starting to get brown. Remove to a serving platter.
  • Sauce -- In a small sauce pan, add the white wine, vinegar and the shallots and heat to medium to medium-high until the sauce is reduced by half. It doesn't take long 3-4 minutes is all. Add the cream and cook another 1-2 minutes -- Don't boil. Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the butter until creamy and melted. Then add in the lemon and fresh herbs.
  • Serve -- Drizzle the sauce over the roasted artichokes. If you have any sauce left, serve a small sauce container on the serving platter for people to help themselves.
  • Remember all "veggies" are good with this. Asparagus, cauliflower, beans, zucchini, mushrooms, etc.
  • ENJOY!
